Mitali Perkins = Incredible Workshop

This past Saturday, the brilliant Mitali Perkins came to the Shrewsbury public library and presented two very moving and inspiring workshops! If you attended the event, please post a comment on this post to give your thoughts and reactions. I am working diligently on getting the submissions of the participants on this blog (my goal is by Wednesday) so those of you that could not make it can read what was created. I must say I was impressed by the works of everyone. Mitali Perkins is a grand storyteller, and her training will be a valuable asset to the next group of young writers that is sure to be well represented from Shrewsbury. Here is a pic from the event - you can see more pictures at the children's room blog: http://www.splkidsnews.blogspot.com/
